Small business setup. Windows 7 licencing question on 4 pcs. Msdn or retail?.

That would class as refurbishment which brings you under a different part of MS licensing. Using an OEM license still wouldn’t be valid.

do MS state NEW parts? if I take several PC's appart and put them back together swapping bits over then have I not built a new machine?
 
 
Thanks, although I think they might be more inclined to go with Dell PC's, due to the easy warranty solution, rather than warranty per part manufacturer.

Two PC's are all imaged and going back to him tonight.

Need to show him some print out's of a 6U and a 9U cabinet and pick up his Dell rack server so I can start prepping this and put in in place when I have done most of the network set-up there. Will have to do this at home though, cant wait for the noise, and hopefully its not too power hungry whilst I am working on it for a few days.

They only generally need internet access on the machines and email over the course of the next few weeks which gives me a bit of time to get the server prepped and patch the comms in this weekend hopefully

Check the depth of those cabs, most smaller cabs are intended to for switches and are not deep enough to hold servers.
 
Yeah already checked the depth it's got enough room :), we're not racking the server that's going to be on a platform, checked the dimensions Of switch and it's fine :)


More updates to come hopefully
